Publisher's description of Simple DNS Plus 4.0
From JH Software:With Simple DNS Plus you can hosts your own domain name, or simply speed up Internet access by running your own DNS server. Thanks to DNS servers we surf the Internet using names such as "www.simpledns.com" instead of impossible to remember IP addresses. DNS servers translate these domain names into machine readable IP-addresses needed to locate the requested web-server on the Internet. Simple DNS Plus can easily be integrated with your Web site for ISP customer signup etc., or even a full web-based DNS solution. Simple DNS Plus is also a DHCP server; it comes with a DNS Look Up tool.
Version 4.0 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Version: Simple DNS Plus 4.0
Pros: Advertising and description looks good. Interface okay. But...
Cons: Never got to try it. They advertise a 14 day trial. That's not how it worked for me. I downloaded, installed, spent hours configuring, tried to start it and got a message that the 14 day trial expired. I hadn't even used it yet. The support rep says "Sorry, maybe it doesn't work on your server." "Try another one." This was a HUGE waste of time for me. Save yourself the hassle.

Version: Simple DNS Plus 4.0
Pros: I have purchased three licenses so far for various systems. I have been running one server for eight years and the only time it has ever failed was when my machine ran out of disk space. It handles complex text records (for SPF and DKIM). Running one instance as a backup for another is a matter of install and forget -- everything is maintained automatically.
This is a very versatile system and whenever I have needed to do something odd I've found it already supported it.
Cons: It would be nice if, when out of disk space, it could still serve DNS requests but that is a bit of an odd situation.

Version: Simple DNS Plus 4.0
Pros: I live in Sonora, Mexico where for at least a year DSL/Cable Internet service has been virtually useless because of frequent (like every few minutes) DNS outages lasting three to four minutes. It's everywhere, regardless of where one connects to the Internet. No DNS lookup due to spammers, malicious worms, and incompetence (though it's hard to get motivated for a DAILY salary of around $4.85). What's worse, the idiots don't cache.
No that I have Simple DNS Plus, my Internet connection behaves as though I were accessing the Internet from the United States. No more outages, and the overall access time has improved tenfold.
Well worth the $79.00
